Handmade Recumbent Bicycle

I  made a recumbent bicycle from bikes given to us when we asked around. I did not follow any specific plans for it.  I researched a bit and then built it to the design i wanted with the supplies I had. It is great exercise for me after my knee replacement surgery. I did spend a total of about $50 on things for it such as a helmet, speedometer and mirrors. I built a trailer to pull behind and while I ride I stop for cans and bottles to return. I have more than recuperated the $50 and now have a jar for the money from returning the bottles and cans (5 cents each in NY) I have also (with better diet as well) lost 55 lbs! A great project that will now be only profit from here. Money going towards new tires for our camper!
